a few of my favourite things… {september 2011}
This photo above is one of my favourites from the thousands taken on my camera this past month. I wish I could take credit for it (especially as I’ve tried to take a photo very similar to this and failed). But I didn’t take it. Ada did! She captured this little corner of our lives perfectly. […]
Hulbert St Sustainability fiesta, faerie wings & mango ice creams
Last Saturday we spent the morning in Fremantle at the Hulbert St sustainability fiesta. It’s something I first heard about when a reader emailed (thanks Verity!) to let me know about a few cool thing happening around Perth. I think I’ve mentioned it a hundred times already, but coming from Raglan (and spending a good […]

shaved fennel, nasturtium and radish salad with honey mustard dressing
Fennel is one of my all-time favourite things to eat. Shaved thinly and dressed with a little lemon juice, extra virgin olive oil, sea salt and black pepper it’s something I crave, often. It’s all I yearned for while pregnant with Ada (okay, cottage cheese and tomato on toast also tasted like the best thing […]
